In the system_filter.exim file I include
  if $return_path is ""
  then
    seen finish
  endif


before each of the
fail text ..........
statements. This stops the virus infected mail being returned to the
local postmaster address when there is no valid return address.

I have attached my current system_filter.exim, which has these added
lines as a gzip'ed file (so that the exim filters do not trip on the
occurrences of the various strings).
